Non-parametric Entropy Estimation Toolbox (NPEET)
نویسنده
چکیده
This document describes a package of Python code for implementing various non-parametric continuous entropy estimators (and some discrete ones for convenience). After describing installation, Sec. 4 provides a wide-ranging discussion of technical, theoretical, and numerical issues surrounding entropy estimation. Sec. 5 provides references to the relevant literature for each estimator implemented. If you use these estimators in your research, please cite the appropriate authors. Sec. 6 describes the functionality and options in details.

Determination of height of urban buildings based on non-parametric estimation of signal spectrum in SAR data tomography
Nowadays, the TomoSAR technique has been able to overcome the limitations of radar interferometry techniques in separating multiple scatterers of pixels. By extending the principles of virtual aperture in the elevation direction, these techniques pay much attention in the analysis of urban challenging areas. Despite the expectation of interference of the distribution of buildings with different...
متن کاملNew Methods of Entropy-Robust Estimation for Randomized Models under Limited Data
The paper presents a new approach to restoration characteristics randomized models under small amounts of input and output data. This approach proceeds from involving randomized static and dynamic models and estimating the probabilistic characteristics of their parameters. We consider static and dynamic models described by Volterra polynomials. The procedures of robust parametric and non-parame...
متن کاملFast kernel entropy estimation and optimization
Differential entropy is a quantity used in many signal processing problems. Often we need to calculate not only the entropy itself, but also its gradient with respect to various variables, for efficient optimization, sensitivity analysis, etc. Entropy estimation can be based on an estimate of the probability density function, which is computationally costly if done naively. Some prior algorithm...
متن کاملAlpha-Divergence for Classification, Indexing and Retrieval (Revised 2)
Motivated by Chernoff’s bound on asymptotic probability of error we propose the alpha-divergence measure and a surrogate, the alpha-Jensen difference, for feature classification, indexing and retrieval in image and other databases. The alpha-divergence, also known as Renyi divergence, is a generalization of the Kullback-Liebler divergence and the Hellinger affinity between the probability densi...
